Book flights to Cape Town
It's time to discover the beating heart of the Rainbow Nation. Book a flight to Cape Town with Qatar Airways and you'll experience a city that's eclectic, full of life, and one of the most welcoming places on Earth.
This diverse and exhilarating city captures the African spirit perfectly – in music, dancing and some of the most beautiful natural surroundings you are likely to encounter. From Table Mountain to the hustle and bustle of the Waterfront and the oceanic splendour of Table Bay – you will find one of the world's most exciting and entertaining cities when you take a trip to Cape Town.
Cape Town travel highlights
A chilled city with dazzling scenery and within arm's reach of some of the world's most beloved wildlife. Welcome to Cape Town, the beating heart of the Rainbow Nation.
Tourist attractions
Don't be alarmed if you hear a boom at midday during your trip to Cape Town; it's just the noonday gun on Signal Hill, one of the most popular locations for visitors who want to get a panoramic view of the city and surrounding countryside. At a height of 350 metres, its summit gives you an uninterrupted vista that stretches for miles. Originally a lookout point for Cape Town's early settlers, Signal Hill now lies within Table Mountain National Park.
You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to attractions during your trip to Cape Town. Choose from The Castle of Good Hope – the oldest colonial-era building in South Africa; the Bo-Kaap Museum; the exquisite art collection at the South African National Gallery; or the tranquil beauty of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.
To discover more about South Africa's most famous son and what inspired him to become such a powerful voice for peace and justice, visit Robben Island. Here you will find the scene of Nelson Mandela's nearly three-decade spell as a political prisoner. However, if you do want to visit the island, it's best to plan ahead well in advance, as tickets are snapped up quickly.
Leisure activities
South Africa is world-famous for its wide menu of pastimes, whether indoor or outdoor, active or sedentary. Go on safari, to catch a glimpse of the continent's most iconic animals, or take to the awe-inspiring ragged coast for an adrenaline-pumping experience of swimming with sharks. You should also take a cable car ride up Table Mountain to drink in some truly astonishing views.
If spectacular views are your staple, then one elegant solution is to take a helicopter trip that flies over the city and Table Mountain and then down to Table Bay. If conservation is close to your heart, then guided tours will introduce you to the region's baboons, or take you deep into the bush at the Aquila Game Reserve.
For culture-lovers, the Armchair Theatre puts on some impressive shows, while the Masque Theatre delivers a more traditional African experience.
Cape Town is renowned for its culinary experiences. Seafood is particularly good here and the best restaurants for this are located on the V&A Waterfront. Long Street has many fine-dining venues and up-market cafés, but if you're in the mood for a quieter spot, head for Lower Main Road in Observatory.
Dishes to try while you are visiting Cape Town include line fish such as yellowtail, Cape salmon, kingklip and kabeljou for seafood lovers. Meat-eaters should sample the local game such as eland and springbok.
You will find plenty of outlets for designer goods and labels in the city's many malls; Bayside Centre, Blue Route Mall and Cavendish Square are among the best. On the slopes of Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront is a hugely popular entertainment and shopping area. Or, if you are yearning for a more authentic memento of your trip to the Rainbow Nation, try Greenmarket Square for a heady mix of local crafts, jewellery and clothes.

Sozo Coffee premieres Blue Dawg Brew
Sozo Coffee Roasting and Espresso Bar owners Rodney and Mindy Hensley are offering a way for coffee lovers to help give back to students of Ionia Public Schools.
They created Blue Dawg Brew, which is a blend of a dark and light roast that has nutty and fruity notes. With every bag sold, the Hensleys are giving 10 percent of profits to the Ionia Band Boosters, which supports the band department at Ionia Middle School and Ionia High School.
"You get this really nice, balanced cup of coffee," said Blue Dawg Brew creator Rodney Hensley, adding he used a trial-and-error process with varying percentages of different coffee beans and roasting methods to get the right flavor.
Because members of the band boosters are regular Sozo Coffee customers, the idea seemed perfect.
"We thought we'd create a blend that they can sell as a fundraiser and we can keep bags here to keep them on the shelves," said Mindy Hensley.
The couple said it is important for them to not only help the band boosters, but assist the school district as well because, as musicians also, they both feel the music and other art departments are an important part of the middle and high school.
"It makes perfect sense to try to help the band boosters out," said Rodney Hensley.
He added parents of students who are in the band programs have already expressed their thanks and positive feedback about the business recognizing their child's program.
Band boosters member Mindy Talbot said she is thrilled by the new way to provide funding to the local school district.
"One of the things I love about Sozo is their desire to support this community. I like to shop local and I am happy to see a place give back locally as well," said Talbot.
Blue Dawg Brew is available from 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at Sozo Coffee Roasting and Espresso Bar, located at 576 N. State St. For more information, call 616-527-0100 or visit www.sozocoffee.com.

Note that this list is not authoritative and it is present here mainly so climbers can log their ascents. If you are serious about parish highpointing in Louisiana, then you should visit the County Highpointing Web Site, join the Yahoo County Highpointing Group, and refer to Andy Martin's book for the definitive listing of all the points.
Southern Louisiana presents many challenges to the parish highpointer, since the land is both very low in elevation and the contours are frequently reshaped by river currents and hurricanes. Many of the points listed here are provisional, based on old maps, may be man-made areas, or simply not possible to determine without detailed LIDAR surveys. Simply locating a definitive parish high point is a challenge, in some cases harder than actually getting to that point.

Decals can help you transform walls cheaply, easily
During a recent home remodel, Diane Wright decided the stairway leading to her garage needed some perking up.
So, she went online and found a wall decal — roosting love birds on a branch. "I love them. It adds some individuality," said Wright, who also has used decals in other parts of her home on Kiawah Island, S.C.
Wall decals have taken off as an easy, affordable and temporary way to transform a room, said interior designer Darla Blake of Unique & Chic Interiors in Irvine, Calif. The flexible vinyl decals come in dozens of colors and hundreds of designs, everything from animals and music notes to funky patterns and religious symbols. There are words and sayings. And some firms make custom decals.
"Having a tree in your bathroom, or a park bench and bicycle on a wall behind a sofa, or a bridge going to nowhere brings a smile to everyone who enters the room," Blake said.
The decals make it easy to personalize a room, which is popular right now, she said.
"You can easily find something to reference your personality, your job or your lifestyle," she said.
Wright has used decals as an inexpensive border in a bedroom and above photos.
"It's certainly a whole lot less than hiring a painter," she said.
Price varies by size, but a decal around 25 inches by 50 inches would usually be less than $100.
Barbara Irvine of Syracuse, N.Y., chose a verse from one of her favorite hymns to decorate the space above her kitchen sink. The words, "Come ye thankful people, come," prompt her to count her blessings, she said.
She installed them herself by slowly rubbing them off their paper backing with a tool similar to a tongue depressor.
"They come with very good instructions," said Irvine, who ordered the custom phrase from Wall Words in Santa Ana, Calif. "It's fairly easy. You do want to get them level."
The words are designed to easily go on and off, said Carrol Caldwell, owner of Wall Words. She advises using painter's tape to attach the paper backing to the wall before rubbing the decal onto the wall.
"It brings back how important words are in your life," she said. "It's a way to add something that is very meaningful and helps you through the day."
And the decals peel right off when you're done using them, she said.
Easy removal makes decals especially attractive to renters, students in dorms and parents decorating nurseries, said Jordan Guide, chief executive and founder of Walltat.com.
They can add impact to a small room without taking up space, added interior designer Linda Hunt of Creatively Yours Custom in Richmond, Va. She often puts them in powder rooms to make the space feel larger. She has had clients' monograms made and installed in their master bath. She also uses decals in kitchens and foyers.
Once, she used them to create text for a "memory wall" that a client had in honor of her deceased brother.
"The possibilities of what you can put together are endless," Hunt said.

In September 1929, the Advocate from Burnie, Tasmania, reported on the Harman family and their longevity.
Jonathan died the next year, George made it to 96, Walter 90, Alfred 81 and Sarah (Mrs Adams), 86. Add brother James who died in 1916 at the age of 86 and the average age of six of the seven children of Joseph and Sarah Harman that came to Australia was 88.
Reuben Harman did not achieve the longevity of his siblings. He died in 1883 aged 44 but if he had of lived on, he would have been the third pea in a pod, with brothers James and Jonathan.
Reuben was born in Melbourn, Cambridgeshire in 1839 and by the age of 12, he was already working as an agriculture labourer as the 1851 UK Census shows. He was the youngest of the trio of brothers who sailed to Sydney aboard the Kate in 1854, aged 15.
The earliest record I have found of Reuben in Australia, was in 1864 when he married Elizabeth Oliver. Elizabeth was the sister of Mary Oliver who had married Jonathan Harman two years earlier. They resided in Byaduk where Reuben farmed with his brothers. He acquired land and his home property was Berry Bank at Byaduk. Reuben and Elizabeth raised six children:
Bertha: Birth: 1866 at Byaduk; Marriage: 1892 to Felix Alexander James FULLBROOK ; Death: 1932 at Nambowla, Tasmania
Absalom: Birth: 1868 at Byaduk'; Marriage: 1904 to Hazel Maud FILMER; Death 1954 at Bannockburn, Victoria.
Gershom: Birth: 1869 at Byaduk; Marriage: 1905 to Elizabeth HILLIARD; Death: 1940 at Hamilton.
Jessie: Birth: 1871 at Byaduk; Marriage: 1898 to Walter GREED; Death: 1949 at Hamilton.
Beatrice: Birth: 1878 at Byaduk; Death: 1929 at Hamilton.
Sarah Mulbery: Birth: 1880 at Byaduk; Death: 1931 at Hamilton.
I have found two references to Reuben at Trove, both from the 12 months before his death.
The first article about Reuben was for a transfer of a lease from himself to brother Jonathan, found in the Portland Guardian of May 23, 1882.
The second, in The Argus of August 19, 1882, reports on the Hamilton ploughing match at Strathkellar, east of Hamilton. Reuben won Class A, a division down from Champion Class, in heavy conditions. His plough of choice was the Lennon, also favoured by brother James. He rounded out the day with a second place in the Best Harness class.
On April 28, 1883, Reuben Harman passed away aged just 44 from hydatids. Reuben was buried at the Byaduk Cemetery.
James Harman was the executor of Reuben's Will and was very exacting in his application for probate. Reuben's estate was to the value of £1226, quite a tidy sum in 1883. His assets included 128 acres of land, divided into two parts, one with a two-roomed slab hut with an iron roof and slab partitions. There was also a further 26 acres of land, 3 horses, 17 head of cattle, 150 sheep, a buggy and an almost new plough. There is a record of an interest he had in selected land of 70 acres.
After Reuben's death, Elizabeth was left to care for the children, then aged 17 down to three. The first to marry was Bertha in 1892 when she was 26. Gershom and Jessie also married, however, the two youngest daughters, remained unmarried. Elizabeth, Beatrice and Sarah eventually moved into Hamilton, with the two girls working as knitting manufacturers.
In 1907, Elizabeth returned to Byaduk to represent her family in a photo at the Byaduk and District Pioneers day. She appears in the group photo from the day.
Elizabeth died in 1919 at Hamilton. Beatrice and Sarah only lived for another 10 and 12 years respectively, both dying at 52.
This is the last story of the four Harman boys who travelled independently to Australia. The last three Harman siblings, Sarah, Walter and Alfred, travelled with their parents, Joseph and Sarah to Australia. Sarah was 11, Walter 10 and Alfred only three. The stories of those three Harmans are very different from their four older brothers.

Though it's less confounding and ominous a move than Chelsea mega-gallery Luhring Augustine's about-to-open outpost on Knickerbocker Avenue, Christina Ray and David Kesting's Soho gallery Kesting/Ray will also be opening a Bushwick project space next month. The new space, in a charmingly decrepit old warehouse on one of the industrial area's more residential blocks—Boerum Street between Bushwick Avenue and White Street—marks a return to Brooklyn for the gallerist-couple, both of whom ran spaces in Williamsburg in the aughts.
The new Kesting/Ray project space on the ground floor of 257 Boerum Street is currently visitable only by appointment, but will officially open on an unspecified date in February, Artnet reports. The nature of the programming at the new space remains a mystery, but one imagines that the gallery will use the extra room for artists' projects rather than conventional exhibitions. Kesting, speaking about how Luhring Augustine's game-changing move will affect the local scene, tells Artnet:
Of course it will… I wouldn't expect a ton of galleries to suddenly focus on selling work—the focus will still be on the projects themselves—but my guess is you'll see more success and you'll see finance come and support it.
Kesting/Ray, with its street artist-heavy roster, seems well-suited to its new neighborhood—note the nice wheatpaste piece by Swoon on the gallery's façade.

This page is a resource explaining general sociological concepts of sex and gender. The examples I cover are focused on experiences of otherness.
In sociology, we make a distinction between sex and gender. Sex are the biological traits that societies use to assign people into the category of either male or female, whether it be through a focus on chromosomes, genitalia or some other physical ascription. When people talk about the differences between men and women they are often drawing on sex – on rigid ideas of biology – rather than gender, which is an understanding of how society shapes our understanding of those biological categories.
Gender is more fluid – it may or may not depend upon biological traits. More specifically, it is a concept that describes how societies determine and manage sex categories; the cultural meanings attached to men and women's roles; and how individuals understand their identities including, but not limited to, being a man, woman, transgender, intersex, gender queer and other gender positions. Gender involves social norms, attitudes and activities that society deems more appropriate for one sex over another. Gender is also determined by what an individual feels and does.
The sociology of gender examines how society influences our understandings and perception of differences between masculinity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a "man") and femininity (what society deems appropriate behaviour for a "woman"). We examine how this, in turn, influences identity and social practices. We pay special focus on the power relationships that follow from the established gender order in a given society, as well as how this changes over time.
Sex and gender do not always align. Cis-gender describes people whose biological body they were born into matches their personal gender identity. This experience is distinct from being transgender, which is where one's biological sex does not align with their gender identity. Transgender people will undergo a gender transition that may involve changing their dress and self-presentation (such as a name change). Transgender people may undergo hormone therapy to facilitate this process, but not all transgender people will undertake surgery. Intersexuality describes variations on sex definitions related to ambiguous genitalia, gonads, sex organs, chromosomes or hormones. Transgender and intersexuality are gender categories, not sexualities. Transgender and intersexual people have varied sexual practices, attractions and identities as do cis-gender people.
People can also be gender queer, by either drawing on several gender positions or otherwise not identifying with any specific gender (nonbinary); or they may move across genders (gender fluid); or they may reject gender categories altogether (agender). The third gender is often used by social scientists to describe cultures that accept non-binary gender positions (see the Two Spirit people below).
Sexuality is different again; it is about sexual attraction, sexual practices and identity. Just as sex and gender don't always align, neither does gender and sexuality. People can identify along a wide spectrum of sexualities from heterosexual, to gay or lesbian, to bisexual, to queer, and so on. Asexuality is a term used when individuals do not feel sexual attraction. Some asexual people might still form romantic relationships without sexual contact.
Regardless of sexual experience, sexual desire and behaviours can change over time, and sexual identities may or may not shift as a result.
Gender and sexuality are not just personal identities; they are social identities. They arise from our relationships to other people, and they depend upon social interaction and social recognition. As such, they influence how we understand ourselves in relation to others.
The definition of sex (the categories of man versus woman) as we know them today comes from the advent of modernity. With the rise of industrialisation came better technologies and faster modes of travel and communication. This assisted the rapid diffusion of ideas across the medical world.
Sex roles describes the tasks and functions perceived to be ideally suited to masculinity versus femininity. Sex roles have converged across many (though not all) cultures due to colonial practices and also due to industrialisation.
For example, in early-2014, India legally recognised the hijra, the traditional third gender who had been previously accepted prior to colonialism.
Sex roles were different prior to the industrial revolution, when men and women worked alongside one another on farms, doing similar tasks. Entrenched gender inequality is a product of modernity. It's not that inequality did not exist before, it's that inequality within the home in relation to family life was not as pronounced.
In the 19th Century, biomedical science largely converged around Western European practices and ideas. Biological definitions of the body arose where they did not exist before, drawing on Victorian values. The essentialist ideas that people attach to man and woman exist only because of this cultural history. This includes the erroneous ideas that sex:
- Is pre-determined in the womb;
- Defined by anatomy which in turn determines sexual identity and desire;
- Differences are all connected to reproductive functions;
- Identities are immutable; and that
- Deviations from dominant ideas of male/female must be "unnatural."
As I show further below, there is more variation across cultures when it comes to what is considered "normal" for men and women, thus highlighting the ethnocentric basis of sex categories. Ethnocentric ideas define and judge practices according to one's own culture, rather than understanding cultural practices vary and should be viewed by local standards.
Social Construction of Gender
Gender, like all social identities, is socially constructed. Social constructionism is one of the key theories sociologists use to put gender into historical and cultural focus. Social constructionism is a social theory about how meaning is created through social interaction – through the things we do and say with other people. This theory shows that gender it is not a fixed or innate fact, but instead it varies across time and place.
Gender norms (the socially acceptable ways of acting out gender) are learned from birth through childhood socialisation. We learn what is expected of our gender from what our parents teach us, as well as what we pick up at school, through religious or cultural teachings, in the media, and various other social institutions.
Gender experiences will evolve over a person's lifetime. Gender is therefore always in flux. We see this through generational and intergenerational changes within families, as social, legal and technological changes influence social values on gender. Australian sociologist, Professor Raewyn Connell, describes gender as a social structure – a higher order category that society uses to organise itself:
Gender is the structure of social relations that centres on the reproductive arena, and the set of practices (governed by this structure) that bring reproductive distinctions between bodies into social processes. To put it informally, gender concerns the way human society deals with human bodies, and the many consequences of that "deal" in our personal lives and our collective fate.
Like all social identities, gender identities are dialectical: they involve at least two sets of actors referenced against one another: "us" versus "them." In Western culture, this means "masculine" versus "feminine." As such, gender is constructed around notions of Otherness: the "masculine" is treated as the default human experience by social norms, the law and other social institutions. Masculinities are rewarded over and above femininities.
Take for example the gender pay gap. Men in general are paid better than women; they enjoy more sexual and social freedom; and they have other benefits that women do not by virtue of their gender. There are variations across race, class, sexuality, and according to disability and other socio-economic measures. See an example of pay disparity at the national level versus race and pay amongst Hollywood stars.
Professor Connell defines masculinity as a broad set of processes which include gender relations and gender practices between men and women and "the effects of these practices in bodily experience, personality and culture." Connell argues that culture dictates ways of being masculine and "unmasculine." She argues that there are several masculinities operating within any one cultural context, and some of these masculinities are:
- hegemonic;
- subordinate;
- compliant; and
- marginalised.
In Western societies, gender power is held by White, highly educated, middle-class, able-bodied heterosexual men whose gender represents hegemonic masculinity – the ideal to which other masculinities must interact with, conform to, and challenge. Hegemonic masculinity rests on tacit acceptance. It is not enforced through direct violence; instead, it exists as a cultural "script" that are familiar to us from our socialisation. The hegemonic ideal is exemplified in movies which venerate White heterosexual heroes, as well as in sports, where physical prowess is given special cultural interest and authority.
A 2014 event between the Australian and New Zealand rugby teams shows that racism, culture, history and power complicate how hegemonic masculinities play out and subsequently understood.
Masculinities are constructed in relation to existing social hierarchies relating to class, race, age and so on. Hegemonic masculinities rest upon social context, and so they reflect the social inequalities of the cultures they embody.
Similarly, counter-hegemonic masculinities signify a contest of power between different types of masculinities. As Connell argues:
"The terms "masculine" and "feminine" point beyond categorical sex difference to the ways men differ among themselves, and women differ among themselves, in matters of gender."
Sociologist CJ Pascoe finds that young working-class American boys police masculinity through jokes exemplified by the phrase, "Dude, you're a fag." Boys are called "fags" (derogative word for homosexual) not because they are gay, but when they engage in behaviour outside the gender norm ("un-masculine"). This includes dancing; taking "too much" care with their appearance; being too expressive with their emotions; or being perceived as incompetent. Being gay was more acceptable than being a man who did not fit with the hegemonic ideal – but being gay and "unmasculine" was completely unacceptable. One of the gay boys in Pascoe's study was bullied so much for his dancing and clothing (wearing "women's clothes") that he was eventually forced to drop out of school. The school's poor management of this incident is an unfortunately all-too-common example of how everyday policing of gender between peers and inequality within institutions reinforce one another.
See the video illustrating how hegemonic masculinity is damaging to men. Notice that most of these often-heard sayings directed at boys and men use femininity and heterosexism as insults. (Heterosexism is the presumption that being a certain type of heterosexual person is "natural" and anything else is "not normal.")
Professor Judith Lorber and Susan Farrell argue that the social constructionist perspective on gender explores the taken-for-granted assumptions about what it means to be "male" and "female," "feminine" and "masculine." They explain:
women and men are not automatically compared; rather, gender categories (female-male, feminine-masculine, girls-boys, women-men) are analysed to see how different social groups define them, and how they construct and maintain them in everyday life and in major social institutions, such as the family and the economy.
Femininity is constructed through patriarchal ideas. This means that femininity is always set up as inferior to men. As a result, women as a group lack the same level of cultural power as men.
Women do have agency to resist patriarchal ideals. Women can actively challenge gender norms by refusing to let patriarchy define how they portray and reconstruct their femininity. This can be done by rejecting cultural scripts. For example:
- Sexist and racist judgements about women's sexuality;
- Fighting rape culture and sexual harassment;
- By entering male-dominated fields, such as body-building or science;
- Rejecting unachievable notions of romantic love disseminated in films and novels that turn women into passive subjects; and
- By generally questioning gender norms, such as by speaking out on sexism. Sexist comments are one of the everyday ways in which people police and maintain the existing gender order.
As women do not have cultural power, there is no version of hegemonic femininity to rival hegemonic masculinity. There are, however, dominant ideals of doing femininity, which favour White, heterosexual, middle-class cis-women who are able-bodied. Minority women do not enjoy the same social privileges in comparison.
The popular idea that women do not get ahead because they lack confidence ignores the intersections of inequality. Women are now being told that they should simply "lean in" and ask for more help at work and at home. "Leaning in" is a limited way of overcoming gender inequality only if you're a White woman already thriving in the corporate world, by fitting in with the existing gender order. Women who want to challenge this masculine logic, even by asking for a pay rise, are impeded from reaching their potential. Indigenous and other women of colour are even more disadvantaged.
Some White, middle-class, heterosexual cis-women may be better positioned to "lean in," but minority women with less power are not. They're fighting sexism and racism and class discrimination all at once.
Cross-national studies show that social policy plays a significant role in minimising gender inequality, especially where publicly funded childcare frees up women to fully participate in paid work. Cultural variations of gender across time and place also demonstrate that gender change is possible.
Transgender and Intersex Australians
Nationally representative figures drawing on random samples do not exist for transgender people in Australia. The Sex in Australia Study organised a sub-set of questions to address transgender or intersex issues, but these were not used as no one in their survey specified that they were part of these groups. The researchers think that transgender and intersex Australians either nominated themselves broadly as woman or men, and as either heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual or asexual. Alternatively, transgender and intersex Australians may have declined to participate in the survey. The researchers note that around one in 1,000 Australians are transgender or intersex. The Private Lives study, which surveyed over 3,800 lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA) Australians finds that 4.4% identify as transgender (and a further 3% prefer another term to describe their sex/gender other than male, female or transgender).
American and British estimates are no more exact. Smaller or specialised surveys on issues such as surveillance and tobacco estimate that between 0.2% and 0.5% of Americans are transgender, while surveys in the UK identify that up to 0.1% of the population has began or undergone gender transition (noting this does not capture other people who may be considering transgender options).
The research shows that transgender people face various gender inequalities. They lack access to adequate healthcare; they are at a high risk of experiencing mental illness as a result of family rejection, bullying and social exclusion; and they face high rates of sexual harassment. They also face much discrimination from doctors, police, and other authority groups. Work colleagues discriminate against transgender people through informal channels, by telling them how to dress and how to act. Employers discriminate in tacit ways, which might manifest as gender bias leading managers to question how gender transition may impact on work productivity. Employers also discriminate in overt ways, by promoting and affirming transgender men only when they conform to hegemonic masculinity ideals, and generally holding back or otherwise punishing transgender women. Feminism has yet to fully embrace transgender inclusion as a feminist cause. Transgender advocacy groups have made great strides to increase visibility and rights of transgender people. Nevertheless, mainstream feminism's reticence to take up transgender issues serves only to perpetuate gender inequality.
Transgender people have always lived in Australia. Read below to learn more about sistergirls, Aboriginal transgender women, and how Christianity attempted to displace their cultural belonging and femininity.
Intersex people have been, up until recently, heavily defined in popular culture by largely damaging ideas from medical science. Practitioners tend to present intersex conditions through a pathological lens, often leaving individuals and families feeling that they have little choice other than surgical intervention to "correct" gender. Sharon Preves's research shows that medical interventions often have devastating effects on gender identity and sometimes on sexual function. Girls with an enlarged clitoris and boys with a micro-penis are judged by doctors to have an ambiguous sex and might be operated on early in life. What is meant to be a cosmetic fix to make bodies "normal" can sometimes lead to harmful self-doubt and relationship problems for some intersex people. Others do not experience such trauma, and they feel more supported especially when parents and families are more open to discussing intersexuality rather than hiding the condition. Much like transgender people, intersex people have also been largely ignored by mainstream feminism, which only amplifies their experience of gender inequality.
Gender Across Time and Place
Behaviours that come to be understood as masculine and feminine vary across cultures and they change over time. As such, the way in which we understand gender here and now in the city of Melbourne, Australia, is slightly different to the way in which gender is judged in other parts of Australia, such as in rural Victoria, or in Indigenous cultures in remote regions of Australia, or in Lima, Peru, or Victorian era England, and so on. Still, the notion of difference, of otherness, is central to the social organisation of gender. As Judith Lorber and Susan Farrell argue:
"What stays constant is that women and men have to be distinguishable" (my emphasis).
Gender does not look so familiar when we look at other cultures – including our own cultures, back in time. Here are examples where hegemonic masculinity (issues of gender and power) look very different to what we've become accustomed to in Western nations. Let's start with a historical example from Western culture.
16th Century Europe
European nations have not always adhered to the same ideas about feminine and masculine. As I noted a few years ago, aristocratic men in Europe in the 16th and 17th Centuries wore elaborate high-heeled shoes to demonstrate their wealth. The shoes were impractical and difficult to walk in, but they were both a status symbol as well as a sign of masculinity and power. In Western cultures, women did not begin wearing high-heeled shoes until the mid-19th Century. Their introduction was not about social status or power, but rather it was a symptom of the increasing sexualisation of women with the introduction of cameras.
The cultural variability of how people "do gender" in different parts of the world demonstrates the cultural specificity of gender norms. Gender has different norms at different places at different points in time. The Wodaabe nomads from Niger are a case in point.
Wodaabe (Niger)
Wodaabe men will dress up during a special ceremony in order to attract a wife. They wear make-up to show off their features; they wear their best outfits, adorned with jewellery; and they bare their teeth and dance before the single women in their village. To the Western eye, these men may appear feminine, as Western culture associates make up and ornamental body routines with women. Yet in this pastoral culture, the men's elaborate make-up, dress and behaviour are a show of virility. The women pick the men according to their costume and dance. This is another custom that is contrary to dominant models of gender in the West, which demand that women be more passive, and wait until a man approaches her for romantic or sexual attention.
There are various other examples of cultures and religions where gender is done in alternative ways which recognise genders beyond the binary of male/female.
"Two Spirit" (Navajo Native American)
I wrote about the "Two Spirit" People found amongst the Navajo Native American cultures, who make up two additional genders: the feminine man (nádleehí) and masculine woman (dilbaa). They are traditionally considered to be sacred beings embodying both the feminine and masculine traits of all their ancestors and nature. They are chosen by their community to represent this tradition, and once this happens, they live out their lives in the opposite gender, and can also get married (to someone of the opposite gender to their adopted gender). These couples have sex together and they may also have sex with other partners of the opposite gender. If they have children, they are accepted into the Two Spirit household without social stigma.
Female Husbands (Various African Cultures)
Over 30 cultures in African regions allow women to marry other women; they are called "female husbands." Typically they must already be married to a man, and they are almost exclusively wealthy as they need to pay a "bride-price" (as do men who marry women). The women do not have sexual relations, it is more of a family and economic arrangement. (Human rights activists challenge this saying that because homosexuality is shrouded in secrecy, these women may not want to admit to sexual relationships; however, there is no empirical evidence to this effect.)
The Nandi people of Kenya allow this tradition. It is permissible when an older woman has not borne a son, and she will marry a woman to bear her a male heir. The "female husband" will now see herself as a man, and will abscond from feminine duties, such as carrying objects on her head, cooking and cleaning. The female husband takes on male roles, such as entertaining guests while her wife waits on them. The Abagusii people of Western Kenya allow a female husband to take a wife to bear her children, and the biological father has no rights over them. The Lovedu of South Africa and the Igbo of Benin and Nigeria also practice a variation of female husband, where an independently wealthy woman will continue to be a wife to her male husband, but she will set up a separate home for her wife, who will bear her children. These arrangements continue in the present-day and can be ideal for young single mothers who need security.
Amongst the Igbo Land in Southeast Nigeria, both women will continue to have sexual relations with men, however, the female husbands must do this discreetly. If she becomes pregnant, her children are considered "illegitimate" and are treated as outcasts. The children of her wife remain her responsibility and they are not shunned. The female-husband tradition preserves patriarchal structure; without an heir, women cannot inherit land or property from their family, but if her wife bears a son, the female wife is allowed to carry on the family name and pass on inheritance to her sons. Nigerian historian, Dr Kenneth Chukwuemeka Nwoko calls this arrangement a patri-matriarchy. The female husband would be left without status if she fails to produce a male heir, yet once assuming their role as husband, she receives authority over her family.
Kathoey (Thailand)
The Kathoey from Thailand are born biologically male but around half identify as women while the rest identify as "sao praphet song" ("a second kind of woman"). Alternatively, they see themselves as transgender women; and others still see themselves as a "third sex." Monarchy rule and resistance to external colonialism led to an aggressive modernisation campaign that made traditional Kathoey gender practices more difficult. While Thailand generally has less punitive laws about homosexuality (it is not illegal to be gay), LGBTQIA people do not have the same rights as heterosexual couples, and the Kathoey struggle for social recognition of their gender identity.
Kathoey (Ladyboys) – Documentary from faithjuliana on Vimeo.
While the Kathoey are tied to older gender traditions, Peter Jackson, Professor of Thai culture and history at the Australian National University, argues that present-day identities and activism amongst Kathoey are informed by both modern and global sensibilities that arose after World War II. Kathoey women have become a large tourism attraction which stands at odd with their own legal struggles as well as those of other LGBTQIA people in Thailand. Jackson writes:
"My research on Thai queer genders and sexualities reveals that contemporary patterns of kathoey transgenderism are just as recent and as different from premodern forms as Thai gay sexualities, with Thailand's kathoey cultures taking their current forms as a result of a 20th century revolution in Thai gender norms… The cultural prominence of gender in Thailand is reflected in the intense popular fascination with the transgender kathoey and the relative invisibility of Thailand's large population of gender-normative gay men in both local and international media representations of queer Thailand."
Celebrity Kathoey, Nok, is fighting for legal and medical support of poor and rural transgender women in Thailand. She has a Masters degree and is a successful business woman. She feels lucky to have always had her family's support, but that did not stop her from being jailed as a youth for carrying fake female identification. She now runs a charity helping underprivileged transgender women gain access to medical treatment to support their gender transition. She is also seeking to challenge the law to recognise transgender people's gender identity, as official documentation currently forces them to legally identify as their biological sex.

Studying Gender Sociologically
We can study how people "do" gender using ethnographic methods, such as fieldwork and observation. If we are interested in understanding how people make sense of their identities, or we want to go in-depth into their gender experiences, we would use other theories or methods, such as qualitative methods, like one-on-one interviews. If we wanted to study direct measures of gender inequality, we might use quantitative methods such as population surveys to cross-reference how people from different genders are paid at work; or we might get people to carry out time-use diaries to collect data about how much housework they do or how much time they spend doing tasks at work relative to their colleagues; and so on.
Mixed methods can be ideal when studying gender inequality. For example, in domestic labour within families, in order to "go beneath the cover story" of domestic equality and domestic labour. This might involve carrying out time use diaries in addition to interviews, or conducting extended interviews with each member of the family to get a holistic picture of how their gender identities, gender practices and family "cover story" diverge.

JACKSON, Ohio — Since just after World War II, a portrait of Jesus has hung in a Jackson City Schools building, attracting little discussion and no controversy that anyone seems to recall.
But that changed recently after a complaint, and this small city in mostly rural Appalachian Ohio has now found itself as the latest battleground in a national debate over what displays of religion are constitutional.
Facing a federal lawsuit charging that the middle school portrait illegally promotes religion in a public school, school officials dug in their heels Tuesday night at a board meeting. They declared that the portrait belongs to the Christian-based student club that presented it in 1947 and is part of a "limited public forum" in which other student groups can hang portraits of "inspirational figures central to the club's meaning and purpose." Taking it down would censor students' private speech, it said.
"It's a delicate balance for us as a district," Superintendent Phil Howard said, adding that he thought the board's action protected students' rights while making clear it wasn't endorsing a religion.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio, which joined Madison, Wis.-based Freedom From Religion Foundation in suing last week in U.S. District Court, isn't likely to buy the board's reasoning.
"It appears they have assembled a number of pieces and parts from previously unsuccessful arguments (in other cases) and attempted to turn them into something new," ACLU spokesman Nick Worner said Wednesday.
The case has brought an unaccustomed spotlight to the city of some 7,000 people, better known for its annual Apple Festival and the Ironmen prep footballers, who play in a 6,000-seat stadium. Like much of the region, its unemployment runs higher — 8.3 percent in the latest figures — than statewide rates.
"I'm surprised, I guess," Diana Lewis, a middle school teacher and Jackson High graduate, said of the controversy that brought a phalanx of TV cameras inside the elementary gymnasium for Tuesday's board meeting.
Some longtime residents say they'd rather the town be left alone.
"I don't think these outside groups should be involved," said Clarence Rice, 82. "It's none of their business. It's been there 65 years."
He remembers when the portrait was put up, in what was then the high school, by the Hi-Y Club in 1947. That's the year his brother Frank, a club member, died of leukemia.
The "Head of Christ" portrait, a popular depiction of Jesus, hangs near a school entranceway. It's the dominant image in the district's "Hall of Honor," which has nearly four dozen photos of past school leaders and other prominent Jackson County natives including the late four-time Gov. James A. Rhodes.
Howard, superintendent for six years, said he hadn't heard much about the portrait, and certainly nothing negative, until the Jan. 2 letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation saying it had received a complaint. It's been active in challenging school religious displays, such as a southeast Texas high school's cheerleader banners carrying biblical verses and two Pennsylvania schools with Ten Commandments monuments.
The ACLU has had a series of similar cases in recent years, including a long-running lawsuit against schools in nearby Adams County over a Ten Commandments display that courts ruled was primarily religious.
But some rulings, including by the Supreme Court, have upheld displays if they didn't promote one religious sect over another and if their main purpose was nonreligious.
At a Jackson board meeting last month, some in a hundreds-strong crowd booed anyone questioning the Jesus portrait. Attorneys for the lawsuit plaintiffs — a middle-school student and two parents identified only as Sam Does — say social media comments have been threatening, with calls for those opposed to the portrait to leave town.
Bob Eisnaugle, an art teacher and Hi-Y Club adviser, said he didn't like seeing some of the angry reactions at the earlier meeting. But he also supports keeping the portrait up.
"The majority of people want it to stay," he said. "And we still live in a democracy."

"I'm not alone but I'm lonely."
. . . . .
In a world where you can be anything, be yourself.
Learn to love yourself. Love your own space.You will never be lonely,Priya!
I can bet you may look alone but you will ever be lonely!
Pause and think about what i have said and let me know what you feel!
I definitely agree with what you have to say. But till when can one hold on to himself or herself? One has to have someone with them who is there to comfort them, encourage them, cheer them, console them and so on. We surely can be bolder with self confidence, etc. But it doesn't looks like a clear and apt option for the long run. One needs to listen to other's views and thoughts in order to be a better person, right?
Hey.. Just thought about this six word story while studying science.. 😂😂
I am breaking up with Science.. 😂😂😂
That's exactly what I wanted.. I am looking forward for pursuing my degree in BSc. Finance and completing CPF (certified financial planner) exams later on. It was an online MCQ test with 5 parts.
1. Interest Test
2. Verbal aptitude
3. Logical aptitude
4. Spatial aptitude
5. Numerical aptitude
It's not a part of the board exams but it's mandatory to give the test
Kathak for 10 years!! Wow!! That's really amazing! I like watching kathak performances! Especially when you take continuous rounds, it looks beautiful! I had once tried it, but I couldn't complete even 2 rounds at the same spot😂. I'm into Western dance but not a professional scale.
Sorry couldn't congratulate you earlier for your aptitude test, so congratulations!!👍😊💕
Two more stories for sst-
I ain't yours, you ain't mine.
For God's sake, stop troubling me.
Check this out..
I can relate to that single sentence. I am an introvert, that may be to do with it, but having loads of people around makes me feel lonely when there's no connection. It happens to frequently for my own good.
Erin http://kittyjadeblog.com
Yes! Would love to visit one some day!
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like the sweet mornings which I enjoy with my whole heart. I feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite. View all posts by Zealous Homo sapiens

Spaces at 83c[edit]
83c has subspaces consisting of:
- The Main / Meeting Room
- The Dirty Shop (Machine Room)
- The Clean Shop (Electronics Lab)
- The Chill Space (Lounge)
- The Kitchen
- The Bathroom
Spaces Planned for the Sweatshop[edit]
Concept: Usage Zones[edit]
One conceptual idea last night was to break the space into three major use areas, and cluster the rooms associated with those uses in three areas. The areas mentioned last night were the Academic area, the Party area, and the Build area. The Party space seems a natural fit for the back of the space (it has a DJ Booth!); the front, with the light and space, seems like a good place for Classrooms, and the middle, dungeon-ish area seems like where shops should go.
Academic / Classroom[edit]
consisting of conference / classrooms, areas suitable for learning, planning, and colaboration. Room ideas are:
- Dungeons and Dragons room: a rectangular room with a board-room style table in it, walls covered in bookshelves and whiteboards.
- Math Room: Krutcher suggests that rather than a "conference room" style classroom, maybe we want a "math room" -- essentially a room with a couple of small tables, some chairs or couches, lots of pacing space, and a bunch of whiteboards; the idea is to facilitate active, creative discussion.
- Study Rooms: Small rooms just big enough for four people to crowd into or one person to spread out in.
- The chill space / lounge conceptually could belong to this Zone.
- Library -- bookshelves, chairs/cushions/lighting for individual reading, some tables for quiet study
- Possible to have a graphics/drafting area? Light table and drafting tables w/maylines, ETC.
Make / Build[edit]
Consisting of shop and lab space. Ideas include:
- Dirty Shop -- the machine room / fab space for actually sawing, hammering, lathing and milling.
- Clean Shop -- electronics lab filled with benches for soldering &c.
- Craft Space -- suitable for textile work &c
- Darkroom -- For developing pictures; double doors to allow entry when dark; red lighting
- Chem lab -- space suitable for chemistry / bio work
- A/V studio -- soundproof room.
- big enough for a small band and mics
- greenscreen & camera recording
- Ham shack -- Amaetur radio operating room. Needs good way to get feed lines to the roof.
Common needs:
- positive airflow ventilation to outside
- pressurized hoses to operate tools, blow / suck debris
- possible water & drainage hookup
- strong power lines
- security / fencing-off for party times
- sound barrier to other zones
This space is essentially given over to the "party" aspect of Noisebridge: This is the large social space where people not only dance and socialize but hack in large, overlapping groups, much like the vibe that's often present in the Big Room at 83c.
- The Big Room -- Big open space suitable not only for dancing but for general meetings.
- DJ Booth -- What to do with the DJ Booth?
- ==> Now that the DJ booth has been sealed off, I suggest putting a trap door in the bottom of it, with a rope ladder that falls down when one opens the trapdoor. That way when we take down most of the walls, put up banisters, and leave it like a treehouse-lofty-kinda-thing, it'll feel like you have to climb up into a treehouse to get to it. The trapdoor could fit easily in the underside where the staircase is.
- Side-note: Open Hardware Rock Guitar - http://www.laboratoryspokane.com/openchord/the-openchord-v1-guitar/
- The Disco will not be complete until we have the following:
- ==> A disco ball, of course! And obviously THIS, you fools! (MIT gave us an entire how-to guide with open software and documentation. I'm interested in adding touch sensors and writing an app like THIS.) Call or text (786) OMG-THOM if you're interested in collaborating, I really want to get a group together meeting and working on the Disco Dance Floor.
- Kitchen -- needs to be built -- KitchenBuildout
- Bathrooms -- one is built, other may need buildout. (shower?)
- Server room -- Enough room and cooling for a rack of machines. Max 5kw worth of equipment and cooling.
- Nap space -- quiet area to relax, sleep, etc. Perhaps simply hammocks on the roof?
- Storage room -- locked/semi-secure room with lots of vertical shelving, ladder for short people
- Bike rack -- hooks in wall near main entrance to store bikes
- Clothes rack -- hooks for hats, jackets, etc; racks for shoes?
- Emergency supplies rack -- chemical (MSDS / cleanup binder, neutralizers, gloves, goggles, sponges, eyedroppers, etc); medical (first aid kit, basic drugs, scissors, sugar tablets, blood clotter); general (sawdust / cat litter, phone numbers list, flashlights, bottled water, ABC extinguisher, etc)
- Bathroom -- Responsible for bringing the bathrooms up to snuff.
- Kitchen -- Responsible for building out a kitchen. Contact Crutcher.
- Electrical -- Responsible for evaluating and upgrading the electrical layout. Contact Jim or Rachel.
- HVAC -- Responsible for putting ventilation where things need to be ventilated. Contact Ben.
- Walls -- Responsible for building partitions to enclose individual rooms and spaces. Contact Shannon.
- SCADA -- Responsible for controls for HVAC and electrical, and HMI deployment. Contact Dr. Jesus.

An Interview with James Robertson
by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
At the Rocky Mountain Food and Wind Festival, I had the privilege of meeting up with James Robertson, the International Brand Manager for Tulllibardine Distillery. This distillery is one of many that had been mothballed, by previous ownership, and was now being resurrected and brought back on stream by a dedicated group of businessmen. James, who treated me with what I can only describe as with the utmost class and respect, agreed to a small interview.
I thought I would try to capture some of the story of the excitement surrounding the reopening of the distillery for my readers.
Question # 1
How long have you worked for theTullibardine Distillery, and what is your role within the company?
Since April 2008 and I am the International Sales Manager looking after key markets around the world. I cover both sales and brand ambassadorial roles.
Question # 2
Exactly when was the Tullibardine distillery closed, and why?
White and Mackay closed Tullibardine in 1995 due to over production in the whisky industry at the time and also due to the fact that Tullibardine was not a core part of their portfolio.
Question #3
Do you know how the decision came about to reopen the Distillery?
A group of businessmen some connected with the whisky industry saw the potential for Tullibardine and approached W&M to sell it to them including all the old stock.
Question #4
It must have been exciting to unlock the gates/doors to the distillery for the first time when it reopened. Can you tell me something about that feeling if you were there?
I was not there but I do know that there was an amazing feeling of purchasing a part of Scotland's Heritage and also realizing a dream.
Question #5
I really can't imagine the old barrels of whiskey, which were part of the repurchase. Were they still inside the distillery or had they been stored offsite and cared for elsewhere?
All the casks were here under lock and key in the original warehouse where they had been put once filled. The oldest due to be bottled sometime soon is a quarter cask from 1952, then there are casks from the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.
Question #6
Tullibardine seems to be following the model of Bruichladdich, with a variety of new cask finishes coming to market. Is this fair? How is Tullibardine different, and how are you maintaining the old traditions of the distillery?
Bruichladdich reopened 2 years before us having also been closed by W&M. we have followed what they have done closely as they have a similar problem of no stock for the period when the stills were closed. We have not followed their model totally as they have issued over 100 different bottlings whilst we have been probably more selective but they have an advantage in that Islay is very popular whilst we as a distillery were never known for our Single Malts in the past. That said we have proved that we can produce good Single Malt and our new production with the quality of the casks that we have been buying has improved our product immeasurably.
Question #7
Tell me about Tullibardine's new Whiskeys coming to market.
We have just bottled the Tullibardine Aged Oak which is predominantly single malt from 2004, so post re-opening with a small amount of older Tullibardine added to give it some complexity. We will continue with our Wood Finish Range and there should be a Rum Finish out in the first part of 2010, along with a few single cask bottlings.
I would like to thank James Robertson and the Tulllibardine Distillery for taking the time for this interview. For those interested I have completed a review of the Tullibardine 1988 Vintage bottling, and that review can be found here:

As part of its one-year anniversary, indie game developer 2D Boy had a couple of big announcements for fans last week. First, there was the news that the phenomenal game World of Goo was going to be making its way to the iPhone. The second—and even bigger announcement—was that the developer was letting fans of the game digitally purchase a copy for however much they were willing to pay. Now, 2D Boy is one-upping even that news: the sale has been so successful that it's being continued through October 25.
Aside from announcing the sale's extension, the developer also revealed how well the sale has done so far. "Since the birthday sale started, about 57 thousand people bought World of Goo off our website. The average price paid for the game was $2.03 a significant percent of which went to PayPal for transaction fees," the blog post reads. "Normally, they keep about 5% of the revenue, but because PayPal fees are structured in a way that they take a larger percentage for smaller transactions, we ended up paying over 13% in transaction fees. For all purchases of around 30 cents and under, we actually saw no money, PayPal took it all, but they probably ended up losing money on most of those transactions ($0.01) as well, they're not the bad guy."
While the increase in sales numbers on Wiiware weren't dramatic, there was certainly an impressive jump in sales via Steam: "This one was a big shocker. Steam sales rose 40 percent relative to the previous week," the developer revealed. "It has been several months since we've seen this number of sales in a single week on Steam."
That 2D Boy is willing to make such a generous offer to fans says a lot about the type of people running the show at that company. That so many people have been willing to actually purchase a game that was pirated as much as it was speaks volumes about the title's quality. This is one of those rare situations where everyone involved is a winner.
